Create an Initial Benefit in Addition to the Normally-issued Benefits at the Start of Certification, if Necessary

Issue: In month-to-month, participants who are issued benefits on the last day of a month need to have a benefit start date that accurately reflects the issuance of benefits in the proper month.

The ExpectedFDTU was being advanced to the first day of the following month for the first set of benefits if a certification and issuance took place on the last day of the month, CLN_BenefitsStartOnFirstDayOfMonth = Y, and CLN_CreateInitialMonthToMonthBenefit = Y.

Resolution: The code was fixed so that benefits are accurately issued and reflected in the proper month to meet federal regulations and participation counting requirements.The source code was changed so that when a new benefit is issued on the last day of the month (i.e., there are no previously existing benefits), the start date reflects the current month.When there are existing benefits, the benefit start date will begin on the first day of the next applicable month.

The source code that advanced the ExpectedFDTU for the first set of benefits was moved to start executing from the second set of benefits. The actual dates for the first set of benefits are kept "as-is."
